Hypothetically, if a university student was caught with smoking paraphernalia, would that amount to being caught with actual illicit drugs? Would that student then be disbarred from receiving government aid?

I hope not. I had a possession charge when I was 17 but I got it expunged and I am currently getting financial aid

It might depend on if its a civil infraction or an actual misdemeanor.
-------------------- But Jimi was feeling good - he'd shared some LSD with a friend, Herbert Worthington, who sat and watched him from the side: 'Jimi started singing "Spanish Castle Magic" and I was high, I was so happy, probably one of the happiest times of my life, being with an Angel [Jimi] and having a woman on each arm. I just went into an LSD laugh.' Jimi looked over to Herbert, realised that he too was peaking out on acid, tried to say something to Herbie, but it wouldn't come out. - Jimi Hendrix "Electric Gypsy"

They ask about any drug conviction, so I think paraphernalia would count.
I don't think they actually run a background check though.

I would recommend not smoking in the dorms if you're a university student.

But paraphernalia is not a drug. Hard to say how it would go though.

So wait if you catch a drug charge (or any felonies charge) it automatically bars you from recieving any type of government finiancial aid???

Just drug charges. You can murder, rape, pillage and burn things and still qualify for federal aid.
